This project started as a simple detail and tune-up job, then grew into a complete frame-up, museum quality, nut and bolt restoration. Nothing less than perfection was acceptable. It took 6 months and 3 attempts to replicate the exact wheel color. Once completed it became a true benchmark example of the final Mike Hailwood Replica line.

This 973cc air-cooled, over head camshafts, 90 degree L-twin boasted a top speed of 138mph. Produced between 1985 - 1986, the Mille is the final iteration of the MHR. Approximately 1,100 units were made. The MHR was Ducati's final big bevel twin.
